CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN DAY 7: MEL MILLIS limited edition Christmas Boxes

MEL MILLIS CHRISTMAS BOX SET small

 

Cultures and countries all over our planet have been using local plants, sea extracts, grasses, herbs, berries, flowers, crystals – even extracts of tree barks and woods – to beautify, nourish and heal themselves for longer than we’ll ever know. A lot closer to home in the Cotswolds, Tracey Foy, founder of multi award winning new organic English brand Mel Millis’ is doing exactly that.

So say hello to a really unique brand (see her clever plantable gift bags, below!) which we think you’ll want to add to your brands-worth-knowing-about shortlist this season – that is if you haven’t fallen in love with Mel Millis already.

MEL MILLIS CHRISTMAS BOX SET

 

Sow the seeds of love with gifts that give again…look closely and you can see the Christmas Tree seeds embedded into the recyclable gift bags – Alan Titchmarsh would love them!

In the space of mere months her bespoke-feel skin therapies have made it into the pages of Land Love magazine, Stylist, 7 Dials Magazine, Natural Health, Modern Spa mag and more, spreading Tracey’s belief that we are all healthier and more beautiful both inside and out when we “garden our bodies” with all the goodness, energy and balancing powers of phyto active plant-powered remedies from the fields, seas, trees and hedgerows around us.

 

“Study Nature, Love Nature, Stay Close To Nature, It Will Never Fail You”  

– Frank Lloyd Wright​

You’ll adore Mel Millis’ mini gift bags, embedded with wildflower seeds, with a new twist for Christmas as they’ve turned green (this time dotted with little Christmas tree seeds – you simply plant the bag in the ground and wait for your  mini crop of wildflowers or little spruces to show) but it’s Tracey’s cutting-edge intelligent plant formulas that really sold us on this brand when we first tested it last year.

The Organic Phytonutrient Plant Extracts In Our Skincare

What are Phytonutrients, why is Mel Millis’ extraction method better, and why are they so vital for skin?

These are thousands of organic chemical constituents found in the plant kingdom, and with some plants containing in excess of 300 phytonutrients, they are the supreme rejuvenating, repairing and detoxifying agents provided to us by mother nature. 

Mel Millis’ phytonutrient plant extracts have been obtained using a certified organic patented extraction process, performed in high tech laboratory conditions.

This cutting edge extraction method works without the use of high temperatures commonly used in steam distilled extraction. This helps to preserve the valuable constituents of the plants without altering their molecular composition.

Whilst other extraction methods leave behind a residue full of beneficial phytonutrients which cannot be broken down and utilised, Mel Millis’ innovative extraction method allows all of the plants properties from all parts of the plant to be extracted and utilised.

This plant alchemy allows Tracey to deliver the purest and most potent phytonutrients available into her skincare products which recreate the essential synergy of the whole plant, for proven long lasting results.
